It's getting cold here in Fresno. Biking and fishing weather is over, what model should I work on? I do have a topic on the Morris Mini Cooper 1275S Rally Build, that was put on hold due to a family matter. I am ready to get back in to modeling.

I just purchased this new re-tooled model. I was wondering if anyone is picking this up? This is what the actual car looks like. Rumor has it, they used left over Ford paint on their Mopar Cars, even the Hemi's where painted Ford engine blue....I might have to paint the stripe and get some...

Sweet building one too! Great model, But I'm going to get a resin bug catcher, and the wheels on the tree are not too great, looking at resin one too. I can't wait to see these built. Using any high impact colors?

I was close to getting this, what was the pros and cons on this model?

I'm drooling over this!

Thank you everyone. Been busy. Will be getting back on this model soon. Been working on the Petty 1/16, 1/16 Street Charger, and Sox and Martin Plymouth GTX.

Update: Tamiya Mini Cooper Rally 5/8/13 I've been busy with the NHL playoffs (GO SHARKS!) to work on my mini. Today I worked on it and the main goal was to do scrapes, grime, and rust. I used a flat blake that was very thinned out on a brush and used my air brush to give it a affect that the...

I'll look in to that. Thank you very much in for your help.

Well, this will be my first time using AK. I would like to do some weathering like dust, dried mud, fresh mud, and fuel grime.

Today was my day off. I work at a Super Market. Today was too hot to fish or hit the trails on my cross country mountain bike. So I worked on my mini today. I used a lot of liquid masking tape on the area painted guards red. I had my fingers cross, making sure, that no over spray touched the...

Thanks! I wish I can make it stand out more adding wiring. I would like to find a topic that can help me do that.

Thanks, so far, so good. I did have an ugly problem with the front axles.

Update 4/29/13 If Tamiya would ever retool this model....one thing they need to change. The axles and disc brake assembly. This was a pain for me and I ended up breaking the driver side axle. So I did a few changes with the brakes, by using a reamer so the front drum can fit smoothly to the...

Did you do another way of putting the front disc brakes on to the front axles? This 90 degree rotatation is a wtf.

Today, gotten most of the engine detail done. I added chrome silver all around the engine. I used Ian's idea of liquid masking the small parts, only problem, I used Parma's liquid mask. It ate my paint of the parts. :( Hobby Town in my area would say it would take weeks for Mr. Masking Sol Neo...

I opened it up, and the body has alot of molded plastic all around it. The worse area is the front. I might have to contact Round 2 for a new body.

Hey Ian, did you dullcoat the chrome plated parts? How did you do the weather striping on the windshield?

WOW! :o That bus is amazing! Great job on it!

So, I gotten an extra check came in to the Mail. I ended up getting this. Only one at Hobby Town USA. Has anyone attempt to build this one yet?

This is week, I gotten a present from my aunt. It was the Moris Mini Cooper Rally. So Far, I built the engine, washed the parts in dish soap. and today I primer the parts and are drying all day. One thing I did change was the Skid plate. I pinned drill holes in the front. I forgot what size...
